A high-contrast serif with sculpted, slightly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that give the outlines a carved, calligraphic feel. The letterforms show a clear vertical axis with sharp, clean joins and tapered curves, producing a lively thick–thin rhythm across text. Capitals are stately and moderately wide with strong serifs and pronounced curvature in bowls; lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture with compact counters and crisp terminals. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varying heights and extenders, reinforcing a bookish, traditional tone.
Well-suited for book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine text where its traditional serif structure and lively contrast can provide a refined reading experience. It also works effectively for chapter titles, pull quotes, and cultured branding applications that benefit from a classic, literary voice.
The font reads as formal and cultivated, with an editorial polish that feels at home in classic publishing. Its contrast and sharpened details lend a sense of authority and sophistication, while the slightly flared finishing gives it a human, engraved warmth rather than a purely mechanical look.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif conventions with subtly flared, calligraphic finishing, creating an elegant text face with a distinctive, carved presence. Its oldstyle numerals and measured proportions suggest a focus on editorial composition and a timeless, print-forward aesthetic.
In the sample text, spacing and rhythm create a dense, confident color suitable for continuous reading at comfortable sizes. The contrast and fine serifs suggest it will look best when given enough size and resolution to keep the delicate hairlines and sharp terminals from closing up.
